BENNINGTON MONUMENT


The Shaft That is TO Commemorate the Scene OF
the Battle Of Bennington.
The foundations of the monument rest
directly upon a limestone ledge and are
as immovable as il sunk into iron. The
foundation. which is A feet square on
the rock and 81 feet at height of nine
feet, is of limestone taken from local
quarry, and is laid in cement With cement

sian limestone. The base measurement
Is ~ feet and apex 2 feet,
The outside OF the shaft will be built
with what is knosn as "headers and
stretchers." These are stones cut in
long blocks; the stretchers are leid length
wise and the headers with ends TO the
outer wall, running through TO the inside
The outer wall is thus laid for 260 feet
after which are both headers and stretch
ers. The inside walls will be left in the
natural state. The outside walls have n
rough finish, the stone being left with
rock or split face; at the right angle
corners OF the shaft, where the corner
slides meet, and also at all windows and
other openings, the stone is finished in
quarter inch draft lines or arris. For
the outside the coarse ashlers and street
cheers are laid in random length. The
concave joints between the ashlars will
be filed with Portland cement and coarse
sand. These joints and the color of the
limestone rock give the column har-
monious finish. At the height Of zoe feet
there is an entabliture eight feet high,
and fourteen feet above is another en-
abliture twelve feet high. These entabli-
toras encircle the shaft on the four
sides. They do not project from the

A Terse and Interesting Account of the Evils
of Cigarette Smoking.

TerSe and Interesting Account of the Evils
of Cigarette Smoking
Whether or not young Nh. Kneyals
died of smoking cigarettes, says the New
York Times, it is perfectly we'll known
TO physicians that man may die from
carrying that practice TO an excess, aud
that excessive cigarette smoking does do
a great deal of harm. In the first place
people who smoke cigarettes do more
smoking than those who use cigars and
pipes. If a man is going TO leave his

horse car; he will not light cigar; he

ing 1t. The result is that when non
smoker has the benefit of some fresh air
in the lungs whenever he is out of doo-l,
the cigarette smoker takes in air charged
with nicotine.
Smokers of cigars and pipes do not, as
a rule, inhale smoke, but cigarette smok-
ers do Why this should be, il is diff
ficut to say, but it is an acknowledged
fact that it is so. 1t is thus easy to see
why the results of cigarette smoking
should be so baueful. TIE air in reach
ing the lungs goes through the windpipe
and bronchial tubes. Between the wind
pipe and the lungs the bronchial tubes
keep dividing into two. This incessant
subdivision reduces them ultimately TO
great ineness. In the lungs they are
scarcely wider than hair. At the end
of each bronchial tube there is what is
called pneumonia globule. 1t is in this
globule that the air and blood meet; it is
here that the blood becomes "aerated" or
! oxygenize1. In the case of men who in
hale the smoke of cigarettes, these glob
ules instead of receiveing fresh air, re-
ceive air charged with nicotine In
order to know the extent to which the
lungs receive the poisoned air it is only
necessary 20 remember that the area of
these pneumonia globules is some 1000
| square feet.

are impregnated with opium, and these
of course, do harm; but that is not the

cigarettes is that people will smoke
cigarettes at times when they will not

| thus use more tobacco than other people
and that cigarette smokers inhale tobac
co and take into the lungs air charged

All London laughed one morning at
the appearance in the Times of a speech
of the Irish orator, Richard l., Shiel
which he meant to have delivered the
evening before at political meeting. An
accident prevented the orator from at
tending the meeting, but, says the
Youths Companion, as he failed 60
notify the editor OF the fact, the
speech was published, with interpretations
of applause "hearty applause "much
merriment,n and great laughter Shiel
had furnished the Times with copy of
the speech several days before the meet
ing, and had himself corrected the proof
and inserted the applause
An accident not dissimilar befell viii
liam IL. Seward, when he was 81 years of
age. His facile pen was relied on by the
Adams party of western New York to
draft the addresses of their conventions.
In those days political conventions did
not "whereas" or "resolve;" they "ad-
dressed" the citizens.
A member of congress was to be nom
inaten in the Cayuga district, and the
Adams leaders had arranged, as they sup
posed, to have the choice fall upon an old
and popular citizen. Young Seward, TAX
ing IL TOR granted that the convention
would ratfy the choice of the leaders,
wrote an address.
In IL he described the candidate as
venerable citizen of Cayuga, who had
long dwelt in the county and was revered
for his honorable career aad many vir-
tues. Handing the manuscript to one of
the leaders, MIR, Seward left home for a
distant town to try a case in court.
The convention met, got into snarl,
rejected the candidate selected for them,
and nominated young Seward himself.
Then, being in hurry 20 adjourn, for IL
was nfw late at night, they adopted the
address of without hearing II read, and
sent the record of their proceedings TO
the weekly newspaper, with directions 30
insert Stewards name in the address.
When the paper was published Seward
was surprised and mortified TO find him
self presented 10 the voters of Cayuga
county as venerable citizen, whose long
and honorable career had begotten the
reverence of all classes. He vaulted out
of the ridiculous position by declining
the nomination.

Practical Farmer


The hog can probably endure as much
hardship as any of our domesticated
animals, but is this any reason why it
should receive abuse, or be subjected to
hardship in any formg We think not.
No one Of our animals more promptly
responds to kind treatment and clean
surroundings than the hog. 1t is popu-
larly considered filthy. This arises from
the fact that the hog is usually confined
to filthy quarters. Is this the fault of
the hog or of It's owner? Why are its
quarters filthy! They were clean when
the hog was first put into them. Was it
the natural tilthiness of the hog above
other animals that made its quarters
filthy, or was it owing to the narrow
limits IN which it was confined? What
could 1t do in such quarters but make
them flthyY True, the hog likes to roll
In the mlre in hot weather. So does the
COW like to stand in the running stream,
pond, or mire in hot weather. The hog
will take to clean water if it can get 1t.
Both do this for the same reason-be-
cause of the graceful GOODNESS of the
moisture and the fac. chat the portions
of the animal organism under water are
A'NN AANAA eAAS ohSu VI AAVos = hAH
hog, like the bovine, also likes to lie in
the cool shade. Give both fair chance
to keep clean, and they will DO so. Con
fine them in too narrow limits, and they
will get filthy. Given equal chances, and
there is not much difference betw cen the
two. But the custom is to crowd the
hog into narrow quarters and com pei il
to remain there. Lacking human reason, it
may not be the best thing possible TO keep
clean in it's confined home; but in this
respect it will not display much more
lack of reason and hog sense than Its
owner in not providing more ample room
and better natural facilities for keeping
clean. Give the hog clean bed, with
free locomotiou, and it will keep it clean.
Give il a wild field of clover TO roam and
root in, and it will keep itself clean,
healthy and thrifty. Both the hog and
the owner will be benefited by the com
paratively wide range and the succulent,
heterogeneous food available for the use
of the hog. A little corn meal, and it
will have all it needs, and be as happy
and respectable as well bred hogs should
be. II will put on muscle as well as fat,
and develop a kealtLful meat for the
food of the genus home. SO do not
complain of the filthiness of the hog,
and condemn it TO wallow in unclean-
illness, until you have given it a decent
chance te be decent hog.
